What is Cristiano Ronaldo's net worth and salary?
Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese professional footballer, entrepreneur, and global icon who has a net worth of $1.2 billion. Cristiano Ronaldo officially became a billionaire in June 2025 upon signing an absolutely enormous contract extension with Saudi team Al Nassr. He was NOT a billionaire prior to June 2025, despite some reports to the contrary.
Cristiano Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Over a career spanning more than two decades, Ronaldo has shattered records, redefined longevity in football, and built one of the most commercially successful personal brands in sports. Known for his extraordinary athleticism, goal-scoring prowess, and relentless work ethic, Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards, five UEFA Champions League titles, and over 30 major trophies across spells with Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
Ronaldo is the all-time leading goal scorer for both Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, and he remains the top scorer in the history of the Champions League. He was the first male player to score in five different World Cups and is the only player to have scored more than 800 official career goals for club and country, with his tally nearing 1,000.
Off the pitch, Ronaldo has built a business empire that includes endorsement deals with Nike, Herbalife, and Clear, among others, as well as his own CR7-branded lines of clothing, fragrances, and hotels. His marketability and global appeal have made him one of the highest-paid and most-followed athletes on the planet.
In 2025, at age 40, Ronaldo signed a record-shattering extension with Al Nassr that will pay him an estimated $620 million over two years, including bonuses, endorsements, and ownership stakes, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete in history.
By the time he retires, Cristiano Ronaldo will have easily surpassed $2 billion in career earnings from salary and endorsements, a milestone that no other footballer has passed. When he accomplishes that feat, he will join the $1 billion athlete club, which currently includes Floyd Mayweather ($1 billion), Michael Schumacher ($1 billion), Jack Nicklaus ($1.15 billion), Arnold Palmer ($1.35 billion), Tiger Woods ($1.65 billion), and Michael Jordan ($2+ billion).
